What game has the best fanbase?
The most helpful community, the least cancer-ridden, etc.
Puyo Puyo
Bloodborne.
>>321723430
>Best fanbase: Pac-Man
>Most helpful community: Mario
>Least cancer-ridden: Donkey Kong (anything to do with DK: 64 does not count)
>Most absurd fanbase: Sonic
>Most dead fanbase: Frogger
>Most horny fanbase: Lara Croft
100% orange juice, the community is so good and helpful and friendly I don't even want to play the game anymore. It's too damn boring.
say what you will about the Sonic community, anytime i've ever asked for recommendations or tips from them, they've been incredibly helpful and generous. never been to /sthg/ but i assume it's the same there.
Monster Hunter I'd say.
Kirby.
>>321723430
Castlevania
the mortal kombat folks have been pretty nice
>>321723430
Terraria and most fighters
The witcher series
>>321723430
Well, pre PC dark souls was pretty top tier.
>>321723430
None of them, because game fanbases are cancer by default.
>>321723739
>Least cancer-ridden: Donkey Kong (anything to do with DK: 64 does not count)
>when the ebin Dong meme and K. Rool Posters exist
No.
>>321723874
Wtf no. That one is pretty divided. You have casuals and veterans with the series. It's a cancer ridden fuck fest
Space Station 13
>>321723430
Megaman. Every Megaman thread on /v/ ends up being comfy and bro tier. Especially the Battle Network threads.
Rainbow six siege on pc. The console communities are awful
>>321723430
>What game has the best fanbase?
The most unknown one.
The larger the fanbase the more it's populated with autists, faggots, and other cancerous elements. No exceptions.
>>321724683
what even are common shitposts in megaman threads?
can't think of any.
xenoblade bros almost never quarrel and always help people out, there's not a single bad egg in it.
>>321724226
This, you may have autistic fights between classicfags and metroidvaniafags, but they all are nice to new people trying to get into the series.
if this thread were about which fanbase is the most cancerous,it would be impossible considering any anon can label whatever game or fanbase they don't like as "the most cancerous"
i've heard Souls is the most cancerous, dragon's dogma is the most cancerous, undertale is the most cancerous, witcher is the most cancerous, dota is the most cancerous, lol is the most cancerous, sony, microsoft, pc, nintendo, monster hunter, jojo, fnaf...
but shitposting aside, it's gotta be a contest between my little pony and sonic
>>321724964
If anything its usually just a random fight about somebody posting shota porn or something. Other than that Megaman threads end up being gold
>>321724964
"Onii-chan!!! Hop in the pool with me!!!"
>>321723430
COD and Minecraft
>>321723430
>What game has the best fanbase?
STALKER general, everytime i ask for a question on their thread i quickly get a fast, nice, reply of someone telling me to give oral pleasure to a protein sausage and hold my breath with it.
>>321723576
I love the blood borne community. I hope it never gets a PC release to keep all the shitters away tho.
>>321726371
ironically, you've just proven why the bloodborne community is shit
>>321723430
Max Payne
All people who are just depressive and get along with each other
Its the alien/aliens/alien3 of gaming
>>321726371
the dumbest fucking thing i've ever read on /v/
>>321723430
From what I seen, probably Dragon Quest
>>321727371
yep, dragon quest fans are all bros
>>321723430
Any fanbase is actually good if the franchise is:
1. not popular
2. not mainstream
3. hasn't had a recent major release
4. isn't a niche product (i.e. fanservice games, 2hard4u games, etc.)
All the Mount and Blade Kniggas are the best
>>321723430
Rhythm Heavenaltough its not a true fanbase since its "fanbase" is made up of people who have it as a secondary fanbase
>>321727897
so in essense something that doesn't exist.
the problem with fandoms is they breed idiots. and idiots collect. it is impossible to have a good fandom under those 4 rules because of the nature of fandoms.
Mount and Blade
>>321724683
>come to a megaman thread hoping to actually disc the games
>people just jerk off to roll instead
I fucking hate this. Megaman threads were actual discussion happens are great though.
Too bad it's dead.

I blame Business Man for ruining Megaman for his own crappy game venture.
Despite some admittedly dank memes, Melee/PM pros i've met have all been cool and more than happy to help. Including a pro Falco player who rolled me34 to 2.
To clarify, I never beat his Falco, only his Marth and fox.
>>321728107
fanbases are for people that actually like something and want to discuss the facets of the material itself
fandoms are for meme-spewing faggots that love dick-riding personalities and jerking off to characters
learn the difference
>>321723430
Baldurs Gate. Or any old cRPG desu senpai

unfortunately you've made your own definitions up.
Fanbases: the fans of a sports team, pop music group, etc., considered as a distinct social grouping.
Fandoms: Fandom is a term used to refer to a subculture composed of fans characterized by a feeling of empathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest.
one is from the dictionary and the other's wikipedia but both pretty much are about the same.
>>321728627
Fandom is not officially a defined word, so the usage is variable. In my case:
fanbase: the group of all people that enjoy a video game/movie/show/book/etc.
fandom: a sub-grouping of the fanbase that develops a culture of social fanaticism for a video game/movie/show/book/etc.
fanbases breed fandoms, and fandoms breed idiots
With a small enough fanbase a fandom never develops.
>>321728627
True but social definitions do exist.
Honestly a fanbase can be directed a certain way by certain individual people, sometimes a developer (e.g. Toby Fox) tries to stear people in a direction.
So not all fanbases are created equal. But fandoms are more overt in their affection and will generally consist of the most obnoxious of folks.
>>321723430
Touhou.
It has the most productive fanbase by every metric - music, porn, fangames, etc. And it's just shameful enough of a thing to play a game about little girls in dresses, that it automatically weeds out the normalfags and literal children. You just get the super-obsessed fags who build shrines to their waifus and stuff, but without the raw power of 9-year-olds discovering their sexuality for the first time in the form of Sonic taking off his shoes in the Archie comic books, it's untainted by that sort of autism.
>>321724574
Those are all people who don't play the games and just posts memes.
Shantae fans are bros
>>321730963
>Implying the Smash fags shoving Shante down your throat aren't awful
>>321724357
Not to Friday the 13th or Texas Chainsaw Massacre fans.
Silly exercise. If you're below a certain popularity threshold you won't amass much cancer unless you have furries in your game.
If you pass that threshold then you're pretty much guaranteed to grow cancer unless the game's universally agreed to be good and relatively free of fetish bait (ie. Red Dead Redemption).
>>321723430
GTA. I'm not talking about normies, I mean the GTAfags on /v/. Never that much shitposting. They'll argue about IV vs V, but that's it. If you want to talk about how fun Vice City and San Andreas are, you can do so without any shitposting.
>>321723430
Dark Souls pre-PC release
Sonic's fanbase is only cancerous online.
Sonic fans are mostly chill people irl.
>>321725507
its because no matter what happens we still love our dead franchise
monster hunter
>>321731473
also this, but even before then demon's souls was a bit better
>>321723430
Ace combat has a pretty great fan base.
Some of the nicest guys I've met on /v/ were in ace combat threads.
I'll also second mega man
>>321731212
those threads are hilarious
>>321731459
Yeah, this is pretty much it
I think the Layton fanbase is nice. Never see that many threads on it though besides the "bullshit puzzles" threads
>>321724574
>What is false-flagging
Prime example: HE
Natural Selection 2 has the friendliest playerbase I've ever encountered in an online game.
>>321728276
>that has station salt video
Roblox
>>321724574
Most actual DK fans (aka the ones who enjoy the games and don't just shitpost memes all day) are pretty bro.
Dragon Ball, even if discussion tends to lean towards the anime shows rather than the games themselves. Otherwise pretty good, especially for shonen.

You were a cool dude, Beowulf. ;_;
>>321732527fuck off swadley
FZero
Dead franchises
Guilty Gear bros are nice. Good threads too.
Super Monkey Ball
>>321723842
It's surirpisingly ok for a general. A little slow right now and reliant on comics or other news until another gameor the live-action moviebut it's nice. Usually at least.
>>321724574
Those are all Smashfaggots and cancerous idiots and don't you dare bunch them in with us.
